You read my post which clearly is After the cross and you give an example under the law and in the OT , why ?
I believe this to be for me.
Why do men search for a formula a method of such one must be saved and when.
Salvation is a gift from God. A free gift do we not agree? Therefore I believe it is his choosing when he shall give it.
The thief on the cross another prime example, the conversion of paul explain that.
There is nothing that we can do to merit such a gift. It's God's choosing.
Does a farmer pick a certain day in which to harvest or does he wait untill the harvest is ready to be picked?
Jesus often said he who has a ear let him listen. Jesus is salvation. He also said it is the father's great joy to give you the gift.
Am I talking about predestination....no I'm talking about the free will of God.
It is the matter of the heart of each and everyone that is only known to the Lord.
Some are called to sew.....some to water......this is tending the garden the Lord has planted.
According to scripture all men were created in his image. All have sinned. All are in need of a savior.
The belief is jesus is not a head knowledge but a life changing event.
Jesus said if you believe in me and keep my commandments you shall be saved.
He is willing and able to save from the uttermost.
Men can speak the words and go through the motions.....some fall away.
To be continued.
